The 2013 Companies Act introduces a new type of entity to the existing list i.e., apart from forming a public limited or private limited company, the 2013 Act enables the formation of a new entity, a ‘One Person Company (OPC)’.

Selection of the type of business entity is of utmost importance before starting a business. It is beneficial for entrepreneurs to have multiple options available when looking to start a business. OPC, LLP, and Private Limited Company are the three most preferred business entities in India. LLP is formed under LLP Act, 2008.

With the support of a uniform tax structure, GST will enable smooth supply across the whole supply chain in all states.

An OPC means a company with only one person as its member [Section 3(1) of 2013 Companies Act]. As the name suggests, a One-Person company is a company that can be constituted by just one person as its shareholder. An OPC can be contrasted with Private companies, which require a minimum of 2 members to get going. In OPC, the person and the company are considered separate legal entities. In a One-Person-Company, the owner’s liability is limited to his/her investment.

The introduction of OPC was based on the suggestions of the J.J Irani Committee Report on Company Law, which submitted its recommendations in 2005. It said small companies would contribute immensely to India’s economy, but because of their size, they can not be burdened with equal levels of norms & compliance requirements as big public listed companies.

The Law on One Person Company that took shape, as a result, exempted such companies from many procedural requirements, and, in some cases provided relaxations. For instance, an OPC is not required to conduct an annual general meeting, which is a requirement for other companies.

A One-Person-Company also does not require the signatures of both its company secretary and director on its annual returns.
